What causes olfactory disorders and what causes anomalies?

Lesions or neuropathy caused.

Nasal diseases, viral infections, traumatic brain injuries cause damage to the olfactory nerve.

Hyposmia, loss of smell, loss of smell, anosmia, anosmia, olfactory hallucinations.

There are many causes of olfactory disorders, the main ones are: the first is inflammatory olfactory disorders, mainly because of chronic rhinitis, sinusitis and allergic rhinitis, these inflammatory diseases cause olfactory disorders, accounting for more than 30% of the total patients with olfactory disorders, studies have shown that 60% 80% of patients with chronic rhinal and sinusitis suffer from varying degrees of olfactory disorders, and chronic rhinal and sinusitis patients with nasal polyps have a greater risk of hyposmia and loss of smell. Between 23% and 88% of patients with allergic rhinitis have olfactory disturbances.

The longer and more severe the course and severity of allergic rhinitis, the higher the incidence of olfactory disorders. Perennial allergic rhinitis has a higher incidence of olfactory impairment and more severe olfactory impairment than patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis. The second more common cause of olfactory disorder is upper respiratory tract infection, the number of patients accounts for 17% to 36% of the total number of olfactory disorders, with viral infection as the primary cause, common viruses are parainfluenza virus, respiratory syncytial virus, olfactory disorders after upper respiratory tract infection can be manifested as loss of smell, inversion of smell and so on.

The third main cause of olfactory disorder is head trauma, mainly because the trauma has caused some damage to the olfactory filament or the olfactory bulb in the skull, which leads to olfactory disorder. There are also congenital, senile, drug-induced and idiopathic olfactory disorders.

For different types of olfactory disorders, the best program should be determined according to the different conditions of the patient. The main methods include, first of all, drugs, such as glucocorticoids topical or short-term oral, as well as vitamin drugs, methylcobalamin and kinado, which can improve circulation and promote local nerve growth. The second is the operation, if the patient's nasal structure has obvious abnormalities, it is because of these structural abnormalities caused by olfactory disorders, which requires surgery.

There is also olfactory training, in addition to traditional drugs, many experimental studies have confirmed that all kinds of olfactory disorders caused by **, olfactory training can have a better effect. At present, it is reported that there are more olfactory agents used for olfactory training, which have four basic odors, such as phenethyl alcohol, eucalyptole, citronellal, eugenol, and generally require patients to carry out olfactory training twice a day in the morning and evening, each time each olfactory smells for 10 seconds, with an interval of 10 seconds between the two smells, and then takes turns for about 5 minutes, the total course of treatment is about half a year, which can effectively improve the sense of smell. Then some other methods, including acupuncture, are not reported much, and the exact effect still needs to be confirmed by standardized clinical experiments.

Olfactory disorders, i.e., impairments in the function of perceiving odors, can be divided into qualitative and quantitative disorders. Qualitative disorders are more common, which refers to abnormal changes in the function of people to perceive odors, such as sweet roses becoming burnt and strange smells, and this disorder in the perception of the nature of smells is olfactory inversion, also called olfactory hallucinations; Quantitation disorder is the loss of the sense of smell when a very weak, very slight smell becomes only a strong smell.
